No position in the NFL has undergone more changes to the style of player over the years than tight end. Long gone are the days of the blocking specialists who serve mainly as an extra offensive lineman. While guys like Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce and Kittle are excellent run-blockers, they are also outstanding receivers and major weapons on offense. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson, File)
